[EwokRhuler]

We're all cunts now Platinum Board.

I feel like I'm becoming Cunt Prime at this rate...

 

[ChocaEgg]

who all opted out today for NU?

Apparently the whole team iwbh

 

[Cornicator]

Somebody said a WR opted out. Did Hunter play?

No. He broke his hand.

 

[realbp]

No. He broke his hand.

Masterbating?!?

 

[Cornicator]

Masterbating?!?

If that was possible, my hands would've stopped working 30 years ago.

What I would give for a defense like miami

 

[Juro]

You didn't answer if he met your expectations for his year 3.

Even for the low expectations he's been granted considering the money he makes, he's not meeting them. If you want a 7 win team, we could have paid a coach half his salary. The investment is not paying off.

No one expects him to be Cignetti, but if I told you in 2022 that we still would not have beaten a ranked team in 2025, would you be cool with that?

Your first issue was to have expectations. Your second issue was to be disappointed.

I’m disappointed by our record; but I’m not disappointed by the changes after that record.

 

[Eaton Beaver]

I didn't think Nebraska would dramatically be better at all. But I did not expect the linebackers and secondary to be completely lost with coverage responsibilities.

I expected it to be a 34 -28 type win for Utah.

Same

I think we have to grapple with the fact that having additional practices actually made the team worse.

Might have to opt out, if we ever get another invite.

Its all about 1 player, and Nebraska had that in 2009. Reuben Bain is a generational player like Suh.

Bain will get drafted top 3 and have a great career like Suh.

What I would give for a defense like miami

The sheer difference in level of talent/players (and coaching) from these two squads, especially after just watching our slow, pathetic team get their shit pushed in, is quite large. Like we are a high school team and these guys are all NFL guys type of difference to the eye test.

We are so, so far off from even being an average P4 team. I mean, if you take out our FCS or non D1 wins each season (so two of our 5ish wins a year), we lose far more than 50% against P4 opponents. This is like 10 years of this pathetic shit by now. Literally not even an average, middle of the pack P4 team.

We are over 20 years past being any good. We had a season here or there (2009) where we were pretty damn good, but overall we have fallen so bad from what we were. Devaney then T.O. had us as the overall top team for over a 30 year span. Then it all crumbled once the Solich years wore on. Since then, I gotta wonder if we have even won half of our games against P4 opponents during the last 20 years (I'm not looking it up FWIW).

 

[Eaton Beaver]

S&C coordinators are dependent on what the HC says.

We looked slow and weak, but you adjust. The HC has adjusted in some things; no doubt that is something you ask to get right.

Speed can’t be taught. Execution at that speed has to be taught and schemed and Rhule has done that with some of the recent changes.

How?

LOL. If you pay a coach as much as we pay Rhule, you set expectations. It is naive to think otherwise.

He's been allowed his reset. He gets 2026. He'll be gone in 2027.

I think he did a solid job building a staff within or it least knowing what jobs are needed for NIL these days. Doesn't mean those people are good at it, but it was on point to have those jobs.

His coaching, hiring coaches, developing, and eye for talent is shit. He thinks he has a eye for talent but don't. He means well..but I have no confidence in his decision making of building a contender.

What is the identity on offense and defense moving forward? S&C is not holding up.

Yeah, Holgo’s offense makes no sense. Has no identity, nothing to hang your hat on at all.

Defense I do have confidence will be better.

Rhules in game management is bad. It just is. Have to keep stacking talent so we can overcome it.

We have to hit the portal hard, and get some good mileage out of the guys we get.

Stacking talent is where I'm concerned the most.

Nebraska shouldn't be going into year four under Rhule with players like Jacob Bower playing 30 snaps per game at linebacker.

We aren't even getting out- recruited. Its like we aren't even recruiting at all. You need to be signing 3 to 4 linebackers every season.

Rob seems like fly under the radar for some reason and a very shitty coach
